A small man with sharp black eyes. deeply
set in little head sat near the stove in the
Lobby of the Merchants ycstt rday. The col
lar of his coat was turned up around his
neck and plush cap OF peculiar style sat
askew on his head. This was Bud Reeves,
the eccentric citizen of Dakota, who is as
well known in business and political circles
of the territory as any man north OF the for
ty-siXth parallel of latitude. Bud is
full of lightning at all hours of the day and
when he talks he does it in Il straightforward,
unpublished manner that is somewhat startling
to Il man unacquainted with him. He was u
familiar figure around the Sheridan house and
the capitol during the early part of the legis
lative session. He carried with him little
black grip-sack, stuffed full of Endorsements
from leading Dakotans, which he hoped
would lift him into the Office of territorial
treasurer. On the day that Gov. Church
made the appointment for this Office, Bud
was posing in the halls OF the capitol, with
his funny little cap suspended on nail in
the secretary's office, his vest unbuttoned,
and a cold sweat on his forehead. The name
of the next treasurer had gone up TO the
council and Bud and his friends thought it
was his own. When the report came down
that the name was that of Benton, of
Fargo, Bud heaved deep sigh,
quietly crawled into his cap and coat, and
with his little black grip-sack stole silently
away from the capital city on the first outgo-
ing train. few days later the report went
out over the wires that Buds elevator and
grain business had gone to the dogs, and he
had hoped to get the territorial treasurer APP
pointment for the purpose of strengthening
his credit and enabling him to tide over the
trouble. Bud denies this report, and claims
it was sent out by his political enemies who
will imagine that Il hive of active, hard work
ing bees has got inside their shirt-collar be-
fore he gets through with them. He claims
that he was candidate for treasurer on
good, square, honest principles and got left,
and he swallows The medicine without a grim
ace. He has no further political aspirations,
and is attending strictly to his business which
demands his undived attention, and returns
to him a fair, living profit. His visit here
is business one.
John Rea, register Of the Bismarck land
Office, showed up in the city yesterday fresh
from the flooded districts of the Missouri
river valley, and put in the day sizing up the
TALL pretentiOuS blocks that surrounded him.
There are good many men reaching out for
Mr.. Rea's Office, but he has got good foot
hold in the esteem Of Commissioner Sparks
and stands good show of holding down his
''Sit'' for some time to come. Nh. Rea said
as yet business was quiet in Bismarck, but ii
looks as though there would be a slight
huStling in the real estate market this spring
and the merchants are brushing up their
stock and anticipating lively spring aud
summer trade. The aid given the needy
farmers throughout that country by the
thnr iEn pnilr &c hnl In
ing the country materially and has lent an
exceedingly bright prospect to the future.
In regard to the flood he says but little dam
age has been done to property in Mandan,
and Bismarck only suffers through the injury
done the property of the railroad company
The heavy fall of snow of last winter kept the
ground warm and comparatively free from
frost and early seeding and an ample crop in
tn fall is looked for.

G. Bunnell, q bright-faced, well dressed
young man, with an artistic air about him,
was lounging around the rotunda of the Ryan
yesterday. Mr.. Bunnell is staff artist en-
ployed by the Frank Leslie Publishing COM
pany and is on his way to Bismarck for the
purpose of securing sketches of the flooded
district for the Leslie pictorial publications.
He will also make sketch of the St. Paul ice
palace as a ruin. This is Mr.. BunnelPs first
visit to St. Paul, and the magnitcence of
some of the new blocks in the CITY filled him
with wonder, and he will carry back to New
York with him sketches of some Of the best
of them, that will undoubtedly be published
IN Frank Leslies Weekly. Mr.. Bunnell will
also take back with him a portrait of NJ. j.
Roche, president of the Northwestern Base
Ball league and editor of the Northwestern
Sportsman.

There was party of distinguished guests
at the Ryan yesterday. They represented
the upper tendon of Milwaukee society and
are here on pleasure trip visiting friends in
the city and looking over the ruins of the ice
palace. They intend to go west as far as Bis
marck and hope to reach there before the ice
gorge breaks and the Missouri settles back
within its wonted boundaries. The party
consists of the following ladies and gentle
men: Mrs. T. f. Balding, Mrs. G. w. Hayes,
Mrs. NJ. J. Russell, Miss Jessie Muir. Miss
